For what value of x is the rational expression below undefined?

Blizzard [7]

Answer: The expression is undefined for x=4 and x=5.

The expression is undefined for any x that makes the denominator 0. This leads to solving a quadratic equation:

$\frac{x+3}{x^2-9x+20}\\x^2-9x+20\neq 0\\x_{1,2}\neq\frac{9\pm\sqrt{9^2-80}}{2}=\frac{9\pm1}{2}\\x_1\neq4\\x_2\neq5$
